Cabernet Sauvignon achieved full phenolic ripeness, producing wines with firm tannins, dense fruit, and long-term ageing potential. Many critics regard 1995 as the first truly outstanding vintage after the legendary 1980s trio (1988–1990), and Lafite excelled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1397\" data-end=\"1844\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1397\" data-end=\"1414\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1414\" data-end=\"1417\"\u003eThe 1995 \u003cem data-start=\"1426\" data-end=\"1453\"\u003eChâteau Lafite Rothschild\u003c\/em\u003e displays deep garnet colour with youthful brightness.
